PRIORITY CLAIM

This patent application is a U.S. National Phase of InternationalApplication No. PCT/NL2006/050109, filed May 3, 2006, which claimspriority to Netherlands Patent Application No. 1028976, filed May 4,2005, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference intheir entirety.

FIELD

The present invention relates to holders made of a foldable materiallayer. The present invention also relates to a flat pattern for such aholder and a method for making the flat pattern.

BACKGROUND

Holders are known, for example, through the U.S. Pat. No. 3,410,516, inthe name of Criswell, in which a book rest is described. A similarholder is made of a thin sheet material, such as cardboard, which issturdy enough to carry a document such as a book. This patent describesa book rest where adjoining panels are joined with tape-reinforcedhingeable folds. The support section (6 in FIG. 1) is a groove formed bymaking several folds in a part of the flat pattern (FIG. 3) between thesupport panel (9) and the base panel (1 and 13), whereby the documenthas to fit into the formed groove (FIG. 2). Furthermore a strip can befolded out of the support panel (9) and joined to the rear panel (11) bymeans of a tongue 24.

A disadvantage of the known holder is that the book rest has arelatively low carrying capacity. Another disadvantage is that the bookrest is only suitable for documents of a limited thickness. Furthermore,the making of the holder requires a relatively large amount of material.

SUMMARY

The present disclosure provides several exemplary embodiments of thepresent invention, some of which is discussed below.

One aspect of the present disclosure provides a holder fabricated from afoldable material layer, comprising a) a base panel for resting on asurface; b) a support panel joined to the base panel arranged forsupporting a document at a sloping angle with the base panel wherein asupport section abutting onto the support panel is arranged forsupporting the underside of the document; and, c) a rear panel joiningthe support panel and the base panel, wherein the base panel, thesupport panel and the rear panel together form an essentially triangularprofiled tube, wherein the holder features at least one reinforcementpanel formed out of the material layer that is arranged to attach to atleast two panels selected from the base panel, the support panel and therear panel, wherein the reinforcement panel extends at an angle to thelongitudinal axis of the profiled tube.

Another aspect of the present disclosure provides a flat pattern for aholder fabricated from a foldable material layer, comprising a) a basepanel for resting on a surface; b) a support panel joined to the basepanel arranged for supporting a document at a sloping angle with thebase panel wherein a support section abutting onto the support panel isarranged for supporting the underside of the document; and, c) a rearpanel joining the support panel and the base panel, wherein the basepanel, the support panel and the rear panel together form an essentiallytriangular profiled tube, wherein the holder features at least onereinforcement panel formed out of the material layer that is arranged toattach to at least two panels selected from the base panel, the supportpanel and the rear panel, wherein the reinforcement panel extends at anangle to the longitudinal axis of the profiled tube.

A further aspect of the present disclosure provides a method for thefabrication of a flat pattern, comprising a) fabricating a base panel, asupport panel, a support section and a rear panel from one materiallayer, wherein the base panel, the support panel and the rear panel areconnected; and b) forming at least one reinforcement panel from thematerial layer.

The present disclosure provides a holder comprising at least onereinforcement panel formed from the material layer that is arranged toattach to at least two panels selected from the base panel, the supportpanel and the rear panel, whereby the reinforcement panel extends at anangle to the longitudinal axis of the profiled tube. Such a holder issturdier than the known holders. Exceptionally, such a reinforcementpanel gives an improved mechanical strength to the holder against sideforces parallel to the longitudinal axis of the profiled tube. At thesame time, such a reinforcement panel offers improved mechanicalstrength against forces directed inward on the profiled tube. Holders ofthe present disclosure are especially suitable for supportingessentially flat objects, such as books or other documents, or, forexample, a laptop.

The material layer can be any suitable foldable material, such ascardboard, plastic, or thin foldable metal sheet. Preferably thematerial layer is made essentially of a thermoplastic. Such plastic iseasily workable and moreover recyclable. Examples of suitablethermoplastics include, but are not limited to, polyethylene,polypropylene and the like. The foldability can be an intrinsic propertyof the material, but can also be introduced by adding a hinge-ablejoint, such as a fold line, indentation or other local weakening. Thematerial layer has a thickness preferably between 0.5-10 mm, or morepreferably between 0.5 and 3.5 mm. The foldability of a material layerof such thickness is simply brought about. It is advantageous if theaverage density of the material layer is less than 2 kg/m2. Such aholder is comfortably transportable.

The material layer can comprise of more material layer parts, but ispreferably in one piece. The base panel is preferably arranged forsupport on a flat surface, such as a table. The support panel serves tosupport one side of a document, such as, for example, the cover of abook. The sloping angle of the support panel to the base panel liespreferably between 30 and 85 degrees. In a preferred embodiment, thesloping angle between the support panel and the base panel lies between50 and 70 degrees. A document at such an angle on the holder is easilyreadable, while the document is also supported on the holder withsufficient stability. In another exemplary embodiment, the sloping anglebetween the support panel and the base panel lies between 30 and 50degrees. A holder with such an angle is especially suitable as a holderfor a laptop computer.

The support section that is arranged to support the underside of adocument abuts onto the support panel preferably at an angle between 80and 90 degrees. At such an angle between the support panel and thesupport section a document, such as a book, is supported withexceptional stability on the holder.

The essentially triangular profiled tube is formed by the base panel,the support panel and the rear panel, and forms an exceptionally stableload-bearing structure. The support section abuts onto the outside ofthe triangular profiled tube.

The reinforcement panel can, for example, be formed by cutting out orpunching out of the material layer, after which the reinforcement panelcan be folded out into the required position. The attachment of areinforcement panel to another panel can be, for example, by means ofmutual support, a tongue-and-groove connection, or a fold connection.

The longitudinal axis of the profiled tube is defined as the directionof the vector that is perpendicular to the surface that is perpendicularto the three surfaces traced by the base panel, the support panel andthe rear panel.

A holder according to the present disclosure is especially suitable forholding objects, especially essentially flat objects such as documents,sheet music, books, or a laptop computer.

In a preferred embodiment, the reinforcement panel is arranged to attachto a recess from at least one panel selected from the base panel, thesupport panel and the rear panel. Such an attachment provides improvedmechanical strength for the holder. Preferably the recess is arrangedfor the attachment of the reinforcement panel in at least oneessentially perpendicular direction to the panel. Such an attachmentgives the holder exceptional sturdiness.

It is advantageous if the reinforcement panel is provided with one sidearranged for mutual support with at least one panel selected from thebase panel, the support panel and the rear panel. Such a side gives theholder good mechanical load-bearing ability for forces directed inwardson the profiled tube. This load-bearing ability is especially large byessentially perpendicular support. Preferably, the slope of the sidearranged for supporting the panel should essentially match the slope ofthe panel. In such a configuration, the mechanical load-bearing abilityis exceptionally large.

It is preferable when the reinforcement panel is at least partiallyformed out of one panel selected from the base panel, the support paneland the rear panel, and the reinforcement panel is provided with a hingejoint with that panel. In this way, the material layer is usedefficiently, which also allows the holder a low weight. Thereinforcement panel can be formed out of the panel by, for example,punching, cutting and/or folding.

It is advantageous if at least one reinforcement panel is formed out ofthe base panel, whereby the reinforcement panel is arranged forattaching to at least the support panel. In so doing, exceptionally highload bearing ability by the support panel is obtained in a simplemanner. Even more sturdiness is obtained when the reinforcement panelthat is formed from the base panel also attaches to at least one recessin the rear panel.

In a preferred exemplary embodiment, at least one reinforcement panel isformed out of the support panel, and the reinforcement panel is arrangedfor attaching to at least one recess in the rear panel. In so doing,exceptionally good mechanical load bearing ability by the holder isobtained in a simple manner.

It is preferable when the reinforcement panel that is formed out of thesupport panel is arranged for the opening out of a primary recess in thecentral part of the support panel in a configuration in which thereinforcement panel attaches to the rear panel, and the primary recessis dimensioned to admit a part of the spine of a document. Such a recessmakes possible the exceptionally stable positioning on the holder ofdocuments with a spine, especially books or folders. Furthermore,tension-free positioning of books is possible, thereby reducing wear onbooks, while at the same time the unwanted turning of pages of the bookinfluenced by tension is countered. Acceptable dimensions for theadmission of a spine are a depth of the recess of at least 0.5-2 cm inrelation to the surface traced by the support panel, and a width of atleast 1.5-10 cm. Preferably the recess runs vertically from at least thesupport section. Preferably the primary recess in the central part iscombined with a support section that abuts onto the support panel at anangle between 80 and 90 degrees to the support panel. Such a combinationproduces better stabilization of a book placed on the holder.

Preferably the rear panel is provided with a secondary recess thataligns with the primary recess. Such a secondary recess makes possiblethe stable support of documents of which the spine extends verticallybeyond the support panel.

It is preferable if the holder features more than one reinforcementpanel. In this way, the holder is provided with improved mechanical loadbearing ability. An optimal sturdiness is achieved when each panel ofthe base panel, the support panel and the rear panel features areinforcement panel connecting with at least one other panel.

Preferably, the reinforcement panels are essentially symmetrical inrelation to a central surface divided over the longitudinal axis of theprofiled tube. In this way, an optimal distribution of mechanical loadbearing by the holder is achieved.

In a preferred exemplary embodiment, a part of the support sectionpenetrates the profiled tube, and at least one of the strengtheningpanels formed from the base panel is arranged to attach to the part ofthe support section that penetrates the profiled tube. In so doing, theposition of the support section is fixed in a simple way. Moreover, sucha construction produces improved load bearing by the holder.

It is preferable when the holder features at least one undoable fastenerbetween two panels selected from the base panel, the support panel andthe rear panel. In so doing, the holder is simple to fold. The undoablefastener can, for example, be comprised of a fabric hook-and-loopfastening, a snap fastener and/or press fastener.

It is preferable when the undoable fastener comprises at least oneattaching element made from one panel, arranged to function with arecess in another panel. In so doing, such a fastener can be realized ina simple manner with efficient use of material. A hook-hole fastening ora tongue-recess fastening comes to mind, as an example. Preferably sucha fastening comprises more than one co-functioning attaching element andrecess. In so doing, a reliable undoable fastening is simply obtained.

It is preferable when the support section features at least one peg holedimensioned for at least partial insertion of a pen. Thus the holder hasan additional function as pen holder. Preferably the holder featuresmore than one peg hole so that more pens, pencils and other bureauaccessories can be inserted. More preferably, the holder features morethan one peg hole, and the peg holes lie at least at a distance from thecentral part of the support section. This provides the possibility toprevent unwanted page turning from a book placed on the holder byplacing a pen in a peg hole. Most preferably, the peg holes arepositioned at various distances in the width and at various distancesfrom the support panel, in such a way that unwanted page turning ofvarious widths and thicknesses can be blocked by placing a pen in a peghole at an appropriate place.

In a preferred exemplary embodiment, the material layer consistsessentially of a relatively rigid material, and fold lines are formed inthe material layer by local weakening. In so doing, a holder is producedwith good load-bearing ability and durability. For example, the materialcan be cardboard, where the weakening is formed by scoring, whichdetermines the fold lines.

It is preferable when the material layer is a laminate, consisting of atleast a top layer and an under layer, whereby the top layer is made outof a relatively rigid material and the under layer is made out of arelatively flexible material, and the local weakening is obtained bylocal removal of the top layer. In so doing, many design opportunitiesin choosing the top layer are obtained. Preferably, a flexible and toughplastic, such as a thermoplastic, should be chosen for the under layer,whereby the fold lines have a high durability.

Examples of a suitable thermoplastic include, but are not limited to,polyethylene, polypropylene and the like. The top layer consistspreferably of a hard metal or metal alloy, for example, based onaluminium or stainless steel. Such a top layer has a high scratchresilience. Also other hard materials compared to plastic come to mind,such as wood, ceramic or fiber-reinforced plastic.

More preferably, the laminate consists of three layers, comprising anunder layer surrounded on both sides by a top layer, whereby localweakening is obtained by local removal of the top layer on oppositesides of the under layer. Such a laminate provides an improveddurability and sturdiness for the holder. Also the design opportunitiesare again increased in that different materials can be chosen for theopposite sides comprising the two top layers.

The present disclosure also provides a flat pattern for the holder. Sucha pattern can be easily folded into a holder complying with the presentdisclosure.

Moreover a flat pattern is compactly transportable and stackable.

In an especially preferred exemplary embodiment, the flat pattern has anessentially rectangular surface, whereby the surface is divided by twofold lines into three essentially equal panels, and the fold lines aredesigned for the mutual overlapping of the panels so as to form aportfolio. The portfolio can be used for the crease-free carrying ofdocuments. In addition, the flat pattern itself is compactlytransportable. Preferably at least one of the fold lines coincides witha fold line between two panels of the holder. It can be possible that atleast one fold line specifically serves to form the portfolio, but hasno further function in the folding of the holder according to thepresent disclosure. Such a fold line will generally be positioned in theplane of the base panel, the support panel or the rear panel.

The present disclosure provides a method for the fabrication of a flatpattern comprising the steps of fabricating a base panel, a supportpanel, a support section and a rear panel from one material layer,wherein the base panel the support panel and the rear panel areconnected and forming at least one reinforcement panel from the materiallayer. In this manner, a flat pattern for the fabrication of a holderaccording to the present disclosure is simply obtained. The fabricationof the panels can be brought about by, for example, punching, scoring,cutting and/or folding.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

FIG. 1 a shows a holder 1 fabricated from one foldable material layeraccording to the present disclosure consisting of a base panel 2 forsupport on a flat surface, and a support panel 3 joined at a slopingangle to the base panel 2 for supporting a book or a laptop, forexample, and a support section 4 abutting onto the support panel 3 isarranged to support the underside of the document. The support section 4subtends an angle of less than 90 degrees to the support panel 3,whereby a book or laptop is stabilized on the holder. The support panel3 and the base panel 2 are joined together by a rear panel 5, and thebase-panel, the support panel and the rear panel together form anessentially triangular profiled tube. The holder is consolidated by twosymmetrically positioned reinforcement panels 6 punched out of the basepanel 2, which are hinge joined to base panel 2, by means of fold line7. The support panel 3 is supported by a side 8 of the reinforcementpanel 6, while an opposite side 9 of the reinforcement panel 6 attachesto a groove shaped recess 10 in the rear panel 5. The triangularprofiled tube may be regarded as two adjoined triangular profiled tubeparts located on opposite sides of the recess 10. The reinforcementpanel 6 is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the profiled tubeaccording to arrow A. Two reinforcement ribs 11 that are folded awayfrom the central part of the support panel 3 attach to groove shapedrecesses 12 in the rear panel 5. The folded away reinforcement ribs 11leave free a central recess 13 in which the spine of a book, forexample, fits for stable positioning of the book on the holder. Thecentral recess aligns with a second recess 14 in the rear panel 5, bywhich books having a spine longer than the height of the central recessfrom the support section 4 can be placed in stability.

Hook elements 15 formed out of the material layer, together with grooveshaped recesses 16 in the support section 4, form an undoable fasteningbetween the support panel 3 and the base panel 2, which is simple toopen and close for folding-up the book-rest. Also, circular peg holes17, which can be used as penholders, are placed in the support section.Furthermore, a pen placed in a peg hole 17 can prevent unwanted pageturning of books placed on the holder 1. Because more peg holes 17 arepositioned in extending rows parallel to support panel 3 and at variousdistances from the surface traced out by support panel 3, the blockingof unwanted page turning of books of varying format and thickness byplacing a pen in a peg hole 17 can be applied. The reinforcement panels6, 11 are divided symmetrically over the breadth of the holder 1 in thedirection according to arrow A, whereby an optimal division of the loadon the holder is brought about. It is possible to use a relatively lightmaterial for the material layer such as cardboard or plastic.

FIG. 1 b shows the holder 1 from FIG. 1 a numbered correspondingly, in aside-view in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the essentiallytriangular profiled tube formed by the base panel 2, the support panel 3and the rear panel 5. In this view it can be seen how a side 8 of thereinforcement panel 6 props up the inside of the support panel 3. Alsoshown is a part 20 of the support section 4 penetrating the profiledtube, whereby the reinforcement panel 6 formed out of the base panelattaches to the part 20 of the support section 4 penetrating theprofiled tube. A book 21 is positioned on the document holder 1, wherebythe support panel 3 and support section 4 carry the book. Also it can beseen how the spine 22 of the book 21 lays in the recess 13 (see FIG. 1a) which is opened up in the support panel 3 by the folding away of thereinforcement ribs 11.

FIG. 1 c shows a flat pattern 30 for the fabrication of document holder1 shown in FIGS. 1 a and 1 b, with corresponding numbering. Dotted linesdenote the local weakening in the material layer, which determine thefold lines. The fold lines 7, 31 for the reinforcement panels 6, aresufficiently hinge-able to make folds perpendicular to the surface ofthe pattern possible. The flat pattern 30 shows the lines along whichthe reinforcement panels 6 and the reinforcement ribs 11 are punched outof the material layer. Further, the hook shaped ends 32 of thereinforcement panels 6, which are arranged to attach to the openings 33in support section 4, can be clearly seen.

Two fold lines 34 positioned at a short distance from each other make anacute angle possible between support panel 3 and rear panel 5. For theangle between rear panel 5 and base panel 2, a single fold line 35 issufficient. An intermediary panel 36 bound by two fold lines 37, 38joins the base panel to the support section 4.

The double fold line 39 that is formed in the base panel 2 has nofunction in the folding of the book-rest as shown in FIGS. 1 a and 1 b.The double fold lines 34, 39 essentially divide the rectangular pattern30 into three essentially equal parts, whereby folding-up the pattern 30into a portfolio as shown in FIG. 1 d is possible.

FIG. 1 d shows a portfolio 40 folded out of a flat pattern 30 as shownin FIG. 1 c, with corresponding numbering. The double fold line 39formed in the base panel 2 hereby forms the first long side of theportfolio 40. The other double fold line 34 which forms the hinged joinbetween support panel 3 and the rear panel 5 forms the opposite side. Inthe closed configuration of the portfolio 40 the three essentiallyrectangular parts determined by the double fold lines 34, 39 arestacked. The holder as shown in FIGS. 1 a and 1 b can be compactlytransported as portfolio 40, whereby portfolio 40 offers space tocomfortably transport documents crease free. Furthermore, such aportfolio is simple to carry in a bag together with a laptop computer.

FIG. 2 a shows an enlargement of a material layer 50 in the form of alaminate built up of a layer of plastic 51 protected on opposite sidesby a metal top layer 52. The material layer can be, for example, thematerial commercially available under the name Hylite, in which theplastic layer 51 consists essentially of polypropylene and the top layer52 out of aluminium. This material has an average density of 1.8 kg/m2.However, it is conceivable to use another suitable plastic for theplastic layer, such as polyethylene or ABS (a co-polymer ofacrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene). Also other materials could beused for the material for the top layer 52, especially metals or alloyssuch as stainless steel or titanium. In the material layer, a weakenedzone 53 is brought out by selective removal of the relatively rigidaluminium layer 52 along a straight fold line. The weakening can bebrought about, for example, by milling, grinding, cutting and/or etchingthe top layer, depending on the type of material. The remaining plasticlayer forms a hinge joint between the parts 54, 55 of the material layer50 bound by the fold line 50. Such a weakened zone 53 can be utilized asa fold line for a holder as shown in FIGS. 1 a, 1 b, 1 c and 1 d.

The bending of the material layer on the fold line 53 is shown in FIG. 2b. A large variable angle is available, as indicated by arrow A, betweenthe two adjoining hinged panels 54, 55 formed by the weakening.

It should be clear that many alternative embodiments of the inventionare conceivable for an expert in the field.
